Salm-Salm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally Salm-Salm was a German statelet located in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was created as a partition of Salm-Dhaun in 1574, and was raised from a County to a Principality in 1739 after being inherited and renamed by Count Nicholas Leopold of Salm-Hoogstraten. Salm-Salm was partitioned between itself and Salm-Neuweiler in 1608. In 1793 Salm-Salm was annexed by France.
Some years later, in 1802/1803, together with Salm-Kyrburg Salm-Salm was granted new territories formerly belonging to the Bishops of Münster (Westphalia). The new territories were governed in union with Salm-Kyrburg ("Staaten der Fürsten von Salm", "Fürstentum Salm"). The principalities joined the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806 under the protection of Napoleon. Finally they were annexed by France in 1810. Three years later, in 1813, the territories were occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia.
